MP

Klaus-Peter Willsch (2019)

Willsch belonged from 1981 to 1993 the municipal council of Hohenstein and was from 1985 to 2011 deputy in the council of the Rheingau-Taunus district . From 1991 to 1997 he was chairman of the main and finance committee of the Rheingau-Taunus district council.

Willsch has been a member of the German Bundestag since 1998 . He has always entered the German Bundestag as a directly elected member of the Rheingau-Taunus-Limburg constituency . In the 2013 federal election , he received 52.1% of the first votes. He achieved the third-best result of the Hessian Bundestag members. He always won his mandate with a clear lead and a strong first vote result ( 1998 : 46.8%; 2002 : 47.4%; 2005 : 47.5%; 2009 : 46.1%; 2013: 52.1%; 2017 : 41 ,8th %).

In the Bundestag, Willsch was a full member of the Finance Committee from 1998 to 2002 . From 2002 to 2013 he was a full member of the budget committee , where he was also chairman of the CDU / CSU parliamentary group since 2009 . Because of his voting behavior deviating from the parliamentary majority in matters of euro rescue policy, he was no longer sent to the budget committee in the 18th legislative period. Since then he has been a full member of the Economic and Energy Committee and an alternate member of the Defense Committee .

Since 2002, Willsch has been a member of the board of the SME parliamentary group (PKM) of the CDU / CSU parliamentary group. With 175 members, the PKM is the largest group within the CDU / CSU parliamentary group and also the largest sociological group in the German Bundestag.

From 2002 to 2005 Willsch was the Bundestag's representative for relations with the Croatian parliament . In 2005 he initiated the German-Croatian parliamentary group, of which he became the first chairman. In July 2013 he received the order of Croatian wickerwork "Red hrvatskog pletera" from the hand of the Croatian ambassador Miro Kovač . This is awarded to foreigners who have rendered outstanding services to the Republic of Croatia .

Since 2010 Willsch has been chairman of the Berlin-Taipei Parliamentary Circle of Friends , which is one of the largest parliamentary groups in the German Bundestag with a total of 45 members, but does not officially bear the name “parliamentary group” due to the one-China policy . Since 2009 Willsch has been chairman of the cross- party parliamentary group on aerospace . He has been a member of the South Hesse Regional Assembly since 2014.

Willsch brought nationwide attention to his deviating voting behavior in questions of the euro rescue policy. As early as May 2010, he was one of five coalition members who rejected the first Greek package and the temporary euro rescue package EFSF . In 2011 he presented a counter-concept with his “Euro 2.0”, which u. a. provided for a redesign of the euro area. Willsch, Frank Schäffler (FDP), Sylvia Canel (FDP) and seven other members of the Bundestag founded an "Alliance against the ESM" in May 2012. The temporary EFSF rescue package must expire in 2013 as planned. The permanent ESM should not exist because it would violate liability and personal responsibility.

On November 15, 2015, Willsch commented on the refugee crisis in Europe and Germany as follows: “We have to get around to rejecting refugees at the borders. If we fail to do this, the citizens of the Chancellor will withdraw their trust [...] There is desperation in the parliamentary group that the top government is not accepting what is being brought to them. "

criticism

In 2007, Willsch came under fire after companies in the armaments industry had regularly placed advertisements in a regional magazine for which Willsch was the publisher and paid a total of 30,000 euros for them. Since the advertisements had “no advertising value”, this was to be seen as “the armaments companies'“ political maintenance of the landscape ”, according to the then SPD General Secretary Norbert Schmitt . At the time, Willsch, as a member of the budget committee, was jointly responsible for making fundamental decisions about armaments contracts in the Bundestag. The opposition condemned this and called for resignation from the budget committee; the constitutional lawyer Hans Herbert von Arnim expressed the suspicion that "the payments could be disguised party donations."

In May 2014, Willsch was criticized by members of his own party after he discussed an alliance between the CDU and Alternative für Deutschland . The Hessian Prime Minister Volker Bouffier (CDU) described such demands as "absurd".

In 2016, he renewed the proposal to work with the AfD by asserting that the coalition party should be selected with the most points of agreement.

On March 22, 2017, the Presidium of the German Bundestag determined in accordance with the rules of conduct for members of the German Bundestag that the MP Klaus-Peter Willsch (CDU) violated his obligations under the MPs Act by submitting written requests to meet the deadline after multiple violations of deadlines and a warning from the President did not meet the deadline for reporting income in addition to the mandate in another case.
